Researchers have produced the first complete wiring diagram of an adult fruit fly brain, tracing roughly 139,255 neurons and ...

Branchlike structures called dendrites that extend from neurons appear to make their own computations independent of the cell ...

Specific brain cells known as layer 5 pyramidal neurons play a vital role in how our brains process information. Research by the team of Prof. Joris de Wit (VIB-KU Leuven) and colleagues highlights ...

Scientists have discovered that the adolescent brain does more than prune old connections. During the teen years, it actively builds dense new clusters of synapses in specific parts of neurons. These ...

TL;DR: Scientists at the National University of Singapore have developed a silicon transistor that mimics biological neurons and synapses, offering a scalable and energy-efficient solution for ...

Every time you pick up a new skill, whether it is navigating an unfamiliar city or finally nailing a tricky chord on the guitar, your brain has to change. For decades, neuroscientists assumed that ...

USC researchers built artificial neurons that replicate real brain processes using ion-based diffusive memristors. These devices emulate how neurons use chemicals to transmit and process signals, ...

Some researchers are leaning into biology for inspiration in computing. In particular, neuromorphic computing offers a brain-inspired approach to hardware that replaces traditional binary processing ...

Alzheimer's disease and many other forms of neurodegeneration share a common culprit. In these diseases, tau proteins that ...
